Reflection and Mirror UIImage

I have a UIImage, I need to flip and mirror. I did it using UIImageView. I have two problems with this.

  • This does not change the image in view only. So when I use the image it is not inverted or I get an error.

  • If I use the same transform twice, it does nothing the second time.

Example code: (I am new to IOS programming and regret any bad code.)

Flip call:

// ImageHolder is a UIImageView
ImageHolder = [self flip:ImageHolder FlipType:@"V"];

      

What does it cause:

- (UIImageView *)flip:(UIImageView *) fvImageView FlipType:(NSString *)FlipType { 

    UIImageView *newView =  [[UIImageView alloc] init];
    newView = fvImageView;
    if ( FlipType == @"V"){
        newView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(-1, 1);
    } else if ( FlipType == @"H"){
        newView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1, -1);
    }else if ( FlipType == @"VH"){
        newView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(-1, -1);   
    }else if ( FlipType == @"N"){
        newView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1, 1);
    }
    return newView;
    [newView release]; newView= nil;
}

      

Thanks for any help you can give!

Image does not flip because you release the image

[newView release];

      

then do nil

newView= nil;

      



and then returns

return newView;

      

As a result, you return nil after performing some operations. I think this is enough to make changes to the "fvImageView" object that you pass as an argument to the function.
